Tiny Render Conundrum

cleveret1

Hello everyone.

I am brand spankin' new to 3D (as in just decided 1 month ago that I want to learn this). I have done a few test renders, but when I save them, they always come out unbelievably tiny and low res like the one below. How do I make my renders come out bigger so that I can actually have a reference to look at my progress?

Thanks!

What are your render settings?
The W: and H: on the render tab tell you how many pixels wide and tall your final render will be.

On the render tab? I'm not sure where that is located. How would I change the setting?

It's on the same page that you render from.
In Daz 4.7 it's here

I see now! I'm currently going through Dreamlight's tutorials, and one of the first things he had me do was hide that pane. However now I see that the size was set at 500 W and 650 H. I just changed the W to 994 like yours and the height to 1292. Here's hoping that I can get a nice sized render now.

Thank you so much! You've been so helpful!

hmmm, 500x650 should still have been bigger than the images you posted, those images are 91x91

I guess my problem was a total novice mistake. I wasn't actually going to File- Save Render. I was just saving my test renders. Now I've figured it out. Thanks for all your help.

Haha, now there's a take on slaying the dragon
Better hope he doesn't miss... it's a long way down :O
